About the Sirius System (for modders)

Sat Dec 10, 2005 8:57 am by Freedom9

Im not an expert when it comes to astronomy but I discovered a map of Orion and in this map, you can see at the bottom left hand corner - "Sirius". Im wondering, is this the same Sirius that is home to the world of freelancer?

Orion Image

I thought maybe this map and the data within would be interesting to modders, it might create whole new storyline and modding ideas. Look at how insignificant Sirius appears to be, as compared to the other systems, it looks like a very small fish in a very big sea.

You dont suppose the Nomads operate in the other systems do u? The Alliance landed in Sirius, hmm what if the Coalition landed in Mirzam O,O that would be cool

have fun

It may look insignificant but the RL Sirius system is prevelant in Egyptian and Mayan/Aztec era astronomy... Have fun with that too

Lets suppose they were systems rather than stars.

The Alliance started again in the Sirius system, suppose the Coalition sent its own sleeper ships and settled in Mirzam. You could probably create a fairly decent mod around that idea.

I mean.. if the Alliance had the ability to travel deep into space then im sure the Coalition would also have that ability. And if both sides discovered each other, it would certainly result in conflict, mankind always results in conflict.

The intro movie to freelancer shows Coalition ships, one could probably base the new ship designs loosly on whats to be seen in the intro.

Lots of names left to be used for coalition planets etc, the countries that obviously were not part of the Alliance, Russia, France, Spain, Iraq, Iran, Greece, and so on and so on.

Im just bored by the way

im just firing out ideas for the sake of doing it.

my mod is using a simelar idea

i begin with a sleeper ship launched by the European Union (or whats left of it in the 22century) just before the warmentioned in the freelancer intro

it arrived somewhat later then the alliance ships (in the middle of the 80 year war)
eventually the ship got into a few systems that the nomads hid long ago (for unkown reason)
now the nomads wants these systems back & fight the humans
the new Europeans fight & capture & reengineer nomad tech
they allso help the order

at the moment i got the systems ready (just need to get the patrolls & details done)
i added 5 new factions
& i'm stilling looking for people who can help me
